Description

Technisches GebietTechnical area

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Ansaugsystem einer Brennkraftmaschine nach dem Oberbegriff des unabhängigen Anspruches 1.The invention relates to an intake system of an internal combustion engine according to the preamble of independent claim 1.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Aus der EP 1 325 223 A1 ist ein Ansaugsystem mit einem Ansaugrohr für eine Brennkraftmaschine bekannt. Dieses weist zwei Teile auf, die miteinander durch Reibschweißen verbunden sind. Das Reibschweißprofil beider Teile besteht aus jeweils einer inneren umlaufenden Fläche sowie aus zwei äußeren umlaufenden Flächen. Während die inneren Flächen miteinander verbunden werden, sind die äußeren Flächen zur Abstützung vorgesehen.From the EP 1 325 223 A1 An intake system with an intake pipe for an internal combustion engine is known. This has two parts which are joined together by friction welding. The Reibschweißprofil both parts consists of an inner circumferential surface and two outer circumferential surfaces. While the inner surfaces are connected together, the outer surfaces are provided for support.

Es ist ferner aus der DE 198 42 889 ein Filtersystem, insbesondere ein Flüssigkeitsfilter, bekannt, bei dem zwei KunststofFteile miteinander verschweißt werden. Zwischen diesen beiden KunststofFteilen befindet sich ein Filtermedium. Auch hier ist ein Kunststoffteil mit einem umlaufenden Rand zur Verschweißung mit dem weiteren Kunststoffteil vorgesehen. Der Rand wird durch einen äußeren, umlaufenden Kragen abgeschirmt. Ein Nachteil bei diesem Aufbau besteht darin, dass eine definierte Abstützung nicht erfolgt. Außerdem ist der optische Eindruck bei einem solchen Kragen uneinheitlich. Insbesondere durch unterschiedliche Schweißdrücke und unterschiedliches Aufschmelzen der beiden miteinander zu verschweißenden Kunststoffflächen kann der Kragen in das Gegenstück eindringen und auch hier für eine weitere Verschweißung sorgen oder einen großen Abstand zu dem Gegenstück aufweisen, was sich in einer unregelmäßigen Optik bemerkbar macht.It is also from the DE 198 42 889 a filter system, in particular a liquid filter, known in which two KunststofFteile are welded together. Between these two KunststofFteilen is a filter medium. Again, a plastic part is provided with a peripheral edge for welding to the other plastic part. The edge is shielded by an outer, circumferential collar. A disadvantage of this structure is that a defined support does not occur. In addition, the visual impression is inconsistent with such a collar. In particular, by different welding pressures and different melting of the two to be welded together Plastic surfaces, the collar penetrate into the counterpart and provide here for further welding or have a large distance from the counterpart, which is noticeable in an irregular appearance.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Nachteile zu vermeiden und ein Ansaugsystem zu schaffen, welches einerseits eine zuverlässige, definierte Verbindung mehrerer Teile zueinander aufweist und andererseits optisch ansprechend gestaltet ist.The invention has for its object to avoid the disadvantages and to provide an intake system, which on the one hand has a reliable, defined connection of several parts to each other and on the other hand is designed visually appealing.

Offenbarung der ErfindungDisclosure of the invention

Diese Aufgabe wird ausgehend von dem Oberbegriff des unabhängigen Anspruches 1 durch dessen kennzeichnende Merkmale gelöst.This object is achieved on the basis of the preamble of the independent claim 1 by its characterizing features.

Der wesentliche Vorteil der Erfindung liegt darin, dass die Schweißnaht, die beide Teile miteinander verbindet, von außen nicht sichtbar ist, da ein Abschirmrand vorgesehen ist, der sich über die Schweißnaht erstreckt, und einen einheitlichen optischen Eindruck erzeugt.The essential advantage of the invention is that the weld that connects the two parts is not visible from the outside, since a shielding edge is provided, which extends over the weld, and produces a uniform visual impression.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung bezieht sich das zweite Teil auf einen sich über den Abschirmrand erstreckenden Abdeckrand.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the second part refers to a covering edge extending over the shielding edge.

Ausführungsform(en) der ErfindungEmbodiment (s) of the invention

Figur 1 zeigt die Detailansicht einer Unterschale 10 und einer Oberschale 12 eines hier schematisch dargestellten Ansaugsystems 11. Die beiden Teile werden im Schweißbereich 13 durch Reibschweißen miteinander verbunden. Bei der Unterschale 10 und der Oberschale 12 handelt es sich um thermoplastische Kunststoffteile, die im Spritzgießverfahren hergestellt wurden. Die Unterschale 10 weist zwei umlaufende Fangränder 14, 15 auf, die sich auf Anlageflächen 16, 17 der Oberschale 12 abstützen. Zwischen den beiden Fangrändern 14, 15 befindet sich die umlaufende Schweißnaht, an welcher die Kontaktfläche 19 mit der Kontaktfläche 20 miteinander verschweißt werden. Die Maßbasis für die Schweißtiefe bildet der Fangrand 14 mit der Anlagefläche 16, d. h. dass der Schweißvorgang so lange fortgesetzt wird, bis zwischen Fangrand 14 und Anlagefläche 16 ein geringer definierter Abstand eingestellt ist. Ein evtl. vorhandener Schweißaustrieb wird in den beiden Aufnahmerinnen 21, 22 gesammelt und ist von außen nicht sichtbar. Allerdings sind von außen die Anlagefläche 17 und der Fangrand 15 zu sehen. Evtl. Unregelmäßigkeiten in der Höhe machen sich hier optisch bemerkbar. FIG. 1 shows the detailed view of a lower shell 10 and an upper shell 12 of a suction system 11 shown here schematically. The two parts are joined together in the welding area 13 by friction welding. The lower shell 10 and the upper shell 12 are thermoplastic parts made by injection molding. The lower shell 10 has two circumferential catch edges 14, 15, which are supported on contact surfaces 16, 17 of the upper shell 12. Between the two catching edges 14, 15 is the circumferential weld at which the contact surface 19 with the contact surface 20 are welded together. The measure basis for the welding depth forms the fishing edge 14 with the contact surface 16, that is, that the welding process is continued until between catching edge 14 and contact surface 16, a smaller defined distance is set. Any existing welding discharge is collected in the two receiving grooves 21, 22 and is not visible from the outside. However, from the outside, the contact surface 17 and the fishing edge 15 can be seen. Possibly. Irregularities in the height make themselves visually noticeable.

Figur 2 zeigt einen Aufbau, bei dem ebenfalls eine Oberschale 12 mit einer Unterschale 10 verschweißt wird. Gleiche Teile sind mit gleichen Bezugszeichen versehen. Die Verschweißung erfolgt auch hier an der Schweißnaht 18 zwischen den Kontaktflächen 19 und 20. Der Fangrand 14 kommt bei Beendigung des Schweißvorgangs an der Anlagefläche 16 nicht in Kontakt, definiert jedoch über einen bestimmten Abstand die Schweißtiefe. Ein Fangrand nach außen ist hier nicht vorgesehen, sondern lediglich ein umlaufender Steg 23, der die Aufnahmerinne 21 für den Schweißaustrieb abschirmt. Umlaufend an der Oberschale 12 ist jedoch ein Abschirmrand 24 vorgesehen, der sich über den Steg 23 erstreckt und damit ein einheitliches äußeres Erscheinungsbild erzeugt. Der Abschirmrand 24 überdeckt den Steg 23 mit einer Länge von 5 bis 8 mm und bietet nicht nur ein optisch ansprechendes Aussehen, sondern gleichzeitig ein Abschirmen der Schweißnaht gegen Verschmutzung oder sonstige Umwelteinflüssen. FIG. 2 shows a structure in which also an upper shell 12 is welded to a lower shell 10. Identical parts are provided with the same reference numerals. The welding is also carried out here at the weld 18 between the contact surfaces 19 and 20. The fishing edge 14 comes at the end of the welding process on the contact surface 16 is not in contact, but defined over a certain distance, the welding depth. A fishing edge to the outside is not provided here, but only a circumferential ridge 23, which shields the receiving channel 21 for the welding expulsion. Surrounding the top shell 12, however, a shielding edge 24 is provided, which extends over the web 23 and thus produces a uniform external appearance. The shielding edge 24 covers the web 23 with a length of 5 to 8 mm and not only provides a visually appealing appearance, but at the same time shielding the weld against contamination or other environmental influences.

Der Abschirmrand 24 geht nahtlos in die Gehäuseform 25 über. Diese weist im Inneren Rippen 26 auf, die sich von der Gehäuseform aus bis hin zur Anlagefläche 16 erstrecken. Beim Reibschweißen wird über das Schweißwerkzeug eine Schweißkraft gemäß den Pfeilen 27 auf das Gehäuse ausgeübt. Diese Schweißkraft 27 wird über die Rippen 26 unmittelbar auf die Anlagefläche 16 übertragen.The shielding edge 24 merges seamlessly into the housing 25. This has in the interior ribs 26 which extend from the housing shape up to the contact surface 16. In friction welding, a welding force according to the arrows 27 is exerted on the housing via the welding tool. This welding force 27 is transmitted via the ribs 26 directly to the contact surface 16.

Figur 3 zeigt im Detail ein Ansaugsystem, das sich in einem Schweißwerkzeug befindet. Es ist das Schweißwerkzeugunterteil 30 dargestellt, das an der Unterschale 10 anliegt. Die Unterschale weicht geringfügig von der in Figur 2 gezeigten Unterschale ab. Es ist jedoch ersichtlich, dass grundsätzlich im Bereich der Verschweißung das Schweißwerkzeug die Unterschale unterstützt. FIG. 3 shows in detail an intake system, which is located in a welding tool. The welding tool lower part 30 is shown, which bears against the lower shell 10. The lower shell deviates slightly from the in FIG. 2 shown lower shell. However, it can be seen that in principle in the area of welding, the welding tool supports the lower shell.

Die Oberschale 12 wird durch ein Schweißwerkzeugoberteil 31 umfasst. Das Schweißwerkzeugoberteil 31 erzeugt eine gemäß Pfeil 27 gerichtete Kraft auf die Verschweißung. Gleichzeitig wird das Oberteil 31 mit einer quer zur Schweißrichtung verlaufenden Bewegung zur Erwärmung der beiden Kontaktflächen beaufschlagt. Am Abschirmrand 24 wird zusätzlich zur Fixierung der Oberschale 12 ein Stegprofil 32 verwendet, das unter den Abschirmrand hindurchgreift. Zur Übertragung der Schweißkraft von dem Schweißwerkzeugoberteil 31 zur Verschweißungsposition sind Rippen 34 vorgesehen, die in Abständen voneinander über der Schweißnaht vorgesehen sind.The upper shell 12 is covered by a welding tool upper part 31. The welding tool upper part 31 generates a directed according to arrow 27 force on the weld. At the same time the upper part 31 is acted upon by a transverse to the welding direction movement for heating the two contact surfaces. At the shielding edge 24, a web profile 32 is used in addition to the fixation of the upper shell 12, which engages under the shielding. To transmit the welding force from the welding tool upper part 31 to the welding position, ribs 34 are provided, which are provided at intervals from one another over the weld seam.
